It is used for data transfer only.Datalogger DL2© RESOL 09252 dl2.monen.indd| 42.1 MountingThe unit must only be located in dry interior locations. It is not suitable for installation in hazardous locations and should not be placed close to any electromagnetic fields. Please pay attention to separate routing of sensor cables and mains cables in order to avoid interferences.Choose a mounting place «Drill two holes (Ø 6mm) next to each other at a di- «stance of 113 mm and insert the enclosed wall plugs.Attach the base by means of the enclosed screws «(4 x 40 mm) (1).2. Installation WARNINGAlways disconnect the device from power supply before opening the housing2.2 Connection(1)Connect the datalogger (pos.1) to other modules in the following order:Connect the data cable (RESOL VBus « ®, pos.3) to the RESOL controller (pos.4). Extend, if necessary, with en-closed screw terminal and (twisted) two-wire cable.Plug mains adapter (Pos.2) into the mains socket. «For direct connection of a router or PC, connect the «datalogger to the router (pos. 7) or PC (pos. 8) by means of the network cable (enclosed, pos.6).Router 1234678The power supply to the device must be carried out via an external mains adapter and the supply voltage must be 100 ... 240 V~ (50 ... 60 Hz).The DL2 is supplied with connected mains adapter and VBus®-cable.VBus® connection at terminals: 1 / 2 = VBus®- connection 13 / 4 = VBus®- connection 2LEDsSD cardLAN socketinterior viewterminalsDatalogger DL2© RESOL 09252 dl2.monen.indd5 |off booting in progress or no mains voltage green flashing SD card has been recognised; DL2 data are being copied to the SD card.

OperationThe status LED (integrated into the button) visualises the operating state of the DL2.The datalogger can be configured, read out and deleted via the integrated web interface. The DL2 is additionally equip-ped with a manual reset button. The following functions can be carried out by pushing the button:Deleting the internal memory; the settings will not •be deleted. For this purpose, press the button for more than 5 but less than 10 seconds. All LEDs will be flashing.Resetting the datalogger to the factory settings. For this •purpose, press the button for more than 10 seconds. All LEDs will be illuminated. This reset process can take several minutes.5.

Data transferNoteThe SD card is not used for increasing the internal memory capacity. It is used for data transfer only.Datalogger DL2© RESOL 09252 dl2.monen.indd| 66. Connecting the dataloggerThe datalogger is designed for direct connection to a PC via a LAN connection or a router and is used for remote access. Please carry out the following steps:1. Install the search tool: The search tool can either be started from the CD (DL2DiscoverToolSetup.exe) or from the Internet (http://www.resol-dl2.de/discover/) (Confirm the security enquiry about the digital signature)5.2 Fill level of data memory The fill level LEDs visualise the current fill level of the data-logger, i.e. the internal memory capacity used.One bar corresponds to 10 % of the internal memory capacity: Permanent illumination means that the memory capacity is fully used. Flashing LEDs indicate the level at which data are being stored.Example: When the third bar from the bottom is flashing, the capacity used is larger than 20 % but smaller than 30 %.Note: When the DL2 is used in conjunction with a Gigabit-Network device (laptop, switch, etc.), problems can occur when the connection is being established. In this case, we recommend using a 100 Mbit-switch between the two devices. It is also possible to change the network properties to “10 MBit/s half duplex” (see below).In order to start the DL2-Discover-Tool, Java version 6 or higher is required.6.1 Access via LANExample: Changing the network propertiesThe settings option of the network properties can vary. The following steps are used as an example only:Select the connection by double clicking on the corre- «sponding iconSelect the “General tab” and click on the “Properties” «button Click on “Extended” and set the media type to “10 «MBit/s halfduplex”Datalogger DL2© RESOL 09252 dl2.monen.indd7 |2a. Starting the tool from the Internet: The datalogger will automatically be searched and dis-played as soon as it is found by the search tool. If several dataloggers are found in the local network, they will be listed in the “RESOL devices found” list. The name men-tioned in this list is the device name which can be set on the “General” Configuration page of the web interface.2b. Installation from the CD:Start “DL2 DiscoverToolSetup.exe”. The search tool «will be installed under “Programme\\\\RESOL\\\\DL2Dis-coverTool”Start the DL2 Discovertool. The DL2 will automatically «be searched and displayed as soon as it is found by the search tool. If several dataloggers are found in the lo-cal network, they will be listed in the “RESOL devices found” list. The name mentioned in this list is the device name which can be set on the “General” Configuration page of the web interface.Mark the datalogger found by the tool by clicking it «Click “Open” «3. The standard web browser opensEnter username and password. Username and pass- «word are “admin” (factory setting).For accessing the DL2 via Internet, the router has to be setup first. For setup follow the following steps:6.2 Access via InternetNote:The discover tool is not usable for DL2 access.The IP address must be known. Either a static IP address is used or a dynamic domain server has to be used. Since the IP address usually changes every day, it is recommend to use a dynamic Domain Name Server (Dyn DNS). For further information on detecting a Dyn DNS, please see corresponding documentation.Port number Service443 Web interface7053 ServiceCenter accessCarry out port routing in the router.
